Motorola will be releasing phones compatible with GrapheneOS, though it's unclear if they will ship with GrapheneOS.

I stick with OpenCode Zen (only US providers) and Together.ai (hosting themselves). As interesting as new Chinese models are when they're first released, I wait til they are open s…

Briar is designed to work over 1) tor, 2) ad-hoc wifi, 3) bluetooth. None of those are going to be conducive to sending push notifications through Apple's servers.

Briar is dead because it doesn't work on iPhones. It doesn't work on iPhones because iOS will only allow waking the app from background when there's a push notification. Push notif…

Yes, and not only that but you can't even access it via API, you can only use it in Devin (formerly Windsurf). I'm an OpenCode user, but I'll fall back to Claude Code if I want to …

China, who keeps undercutting ai prices and producing things efficiently? I don't have to imagine what it would be like under communism in order to see what it's already like under…

None of mine are required to buy a plex account either. They just need to make a free account. Me running it with Plex Pass means they don't have to pay to stream it.

Because Plex provides a way for me to share my server with my friends. They're mostly not very technical, but they can handle "sign up for this free account and install an app and …

Or you can just run Jitsi Meet. E2EE is built in but you also have control of the server and the traffic to and from is encrypted

The people who go through phases are also born to be something for life: adaptable, and used to change. Being good at doing exactly one thing your entire life a certain way has the…

Is their interview process Dungeon Crawler Carl? Do you just apply to work at Canonical, and at the 3rd interview you get to pick what position you're applying for?

Spirit was like Ryan Air, the bus of the sky, but their main benefit for me was that they flew from smaller airports. About the same distance away from me are Philadelphia Internat…

Because they're turning off OpenClaw being able to use your subscription quota, so you'll have to pay Extra Usage in order to use it.

That's not the purpose of the trick. The purpose is to soften the blow for turning off support for OpenClaw and other third party connectors. Now to use OpenClaw et all you'll have…

I extensively tried to use this and couldn't get it working. I'm running CC from a docker container and mostly use it from a web interface, but even setting it to just give a url, …

If you want to use Opus with a different coding harness along with a coding plan, you can use Github CoPilot. It even has built in authentication with OpenCode.

You can use Opus with OpenCode anytime you want, just not with the Claude plan. You can use it via API with any provider, including Anthropic's API. You can use it with Github Copi…

The value proposition is that the people selling it are telling the buyers that trans and gay people will corrupt their children. Not that it might turn out their children are tran…

If you like me were interested in this but didn't quite know how it'd work, here's a better explanation and examples https://jannikreinhard.com/2026/02/22/why-cli-tools-are-beat...…

When I'm trying to focus on something I have Messenger.com installed as a desktop app, so I can see when my friends message me without seeing a slew of FB notifications. facebook.c…

It's because iOS needs push notifications to resume background apps, and there's no secure way to do the push notifications https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/wikis/FAQ#wi…

I strongly recommend together.ai, which allows you to use a lot of different open source models and charges for usage, not a monthly fee.

I bought a used Nissan Versa from Hertz and regretted it immensely. Not only did the CVT transmission go on me (it took a while for my year's class action lawsuit, but they did off…

Chrome is going to continue supporting v2 extensions for enterprise users, so presumably it'll be pretty trivial to keep support for everyone else.
